DataFID™ Po r t a b l e F l a m e I o n i z a t i o n D e t e c t o r
Safe, Convenient and Reliable Landfill Emissions Monitoring Detection DataFID is a portable, intrinsically safe flame ionization detector (FID) that can reliably measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a potentially hazardous environment. Its new, improved design includes an external Bluetooth® antenna to increase communication

antenna provides superior wireless connectivity with a PDA for reading data or sending data logged files from DataFID. Additionally, the revolutionary Hydrostik™ metal hydride hydrogen fuel cylinder provides high purity, low pressure (80 psi) hydrogen to DataFID for continuous VOC monitoring. This conveniently-sized, refillable cylinder provides 10 hours of hydrogen supply and can easily fit in your pocket. It is approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to be shipped via air cargo or hand-carried (limit of two per person) onto an

The small, lightweight 10-hour refillable cylinder can be hand carried onto an aircraft (limit two per person).
RELIABLE DataFID is equipped with an extended nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery that provides 13 hours of continuous reliable operation when fully charged, easily allowing users to monitor the landfill site for a full shift. The long-life battery, internal detector, long lasting high purity low pressure hydrogen fuel supply, and the ruggedized electronics in DataFID all combine to provide continuous, highly accurate and repeatable total VOC measurements from 0.1 ppm to 50,000 ppm.
COMPLETE LANDFILL PACKAGE INFICON has partnered with Trimble Navigation to offer a suite of monitoring software specific for landfill needs. When DataFID is paired with Nomad 900 LC/LE/XE series loaded with SEMonitor and cEnvironment software from Trimble Navigation, real-time landfill emissions monitoring data is continually sent and saved to Nomad with SEMonitor software
both units. SEMonitor software contains the ability to translate CAD, GIS, and air photo files
into the SEMonitor program to display background map data for geo-referencing. This breakthrough technology allows data to be stored with the corresponding GPS location information in each reading sent to Nomad. cEnvironment software allows the data collected within the SEMonitor software to be uploaded to an external cloud (Trimble Connected Community) or to the office mainframe as an Excel® document, saving
